Still sitting in my garage collecting dust. Severely buckled driver side fender & a botched paint job. Probably going to remove the driver side fender soon and possibly drive the car for the first time in a few weeks tomorrow. Also going to remove and re-install my side splitters in hopes of getting them to mount flat again. New (used) fenders should be arriving this week and I am hoping to have the funds to get the paintjob redone (again) by late August. Also have some Lamin-X redout tailight overlays coming in the mail this weel as well.

Been on jack stands since the end of last year...ugh. I'd like to call it "Constructive procrastination" though haha- its just like it sounds: getting stuff done that contributes to a project, but always making time to not finish that project. Basically took on a few too many "projects" at once- all of which affect the ability of actually being able to drive it.

Hoping to remove trans and reseal it with "gear oil resistant rtv" this time; instead of the high temp copper (gear oil seems to seep through this stuff), new fuel hose and clamps to replace one non-fuel safe hose and "worm gear" clamps holding some of the hoses on, get the interior back in, brakes functioning, suspension stuff figured out, and an alignment.

Will most likely have to siphon out the gas at this point, change oil and hope that the injector "o" rings have not dried out. I've been cranking the engine over with a wrench every once in a while to keep everything lubricated, but a first start after sitting so long may not go over too well....just have to hope for the best i guess :].

... hoping to have this all done before spring :/

well...I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong

I have so many freakin parts stacked up. My car is doing good, but I need to spend some time wrenching. I want to do a strong showing at Offset Kings / FD Long Beach since that is one of the few events or shows I care about.

Lol likewise. I've got slotted rotors, ceramic pads, an oil catch can, a boost gauge and 2 new rear tires that still need to be installed. I'm just waiting on my new wheels to arrive before I mount the tires. I also have a bunch of VHT paint/primer/clearcoat to do my valve covers & intake manifolds with, just waiting for some warmer weather before I spray them.

Man, its felt like years since I was on here last. Almost forgot about this thread.

I'm currently working on getting ready for the 2017 season. Still have to paint some bare metal in the interior and do some fiberglass work for a lighter replacement part. I'll try to post updates as they become available.

-Busted up side-skirt
-Front bumper has a crack on the paint from when my tire caught on the corner of my bumper
-Fog light cap has fallen off my passenger side fog-light again
-CEL is on for reasons unknown
-Headliner is sagging (again)

The Forester is currently all stock and I've been hoarding parts like crazy lately. Purchased a used Cobb air intake, used AVO DBW throttle body controller, set of Tsudo UEL headers and full Tsudo exhaust. Still on the hunt for suspension parts from a WRX wagon so that I can see how low she gets on that; if I don't like it then I'm going with coilovers for more low and fine-tune adjustments.
